I am struggling to find a boys name that is the "one". I like unique names but also names that will grow with them, quite a difficult combo. I like the sound of Brakkai and Indio but would like to test them out before I actually name the baby. Any comments welcome.

I know a family who liked thier first childs name so much that they anagrammed it for DC2 so now they have a Caden and a Decan.

Caden is pronounced Kay-den.

outnumbered...we worked on the phonetic rule...especially as I am german, and becase our boys names are phonetic names they tend to work in both languages, and are pronounced the same, whihc we found important...
however, Sven does sometimes get called Seven or Swen (so, like Swan but with an e instead of an a ), Yannic seems to be unproblematic enough and Flynn, too

outnumberedbymyboys · 03/07/2009 13:46

Great site Surfermum. I used this for both my sons names. Worth considering names that are phonetic and people will not pronounce incorrectly on a daily basis for the rest of their lives!

FairLadyRantALot · 03/07/2009 13:10

or wigston

hehe, we hvae been pondering, if for whatever weird and wonderful reason we had called any of our sons Corby or even Corben (a name I actually did like) how weird that would have been....as we now live in Corby...
